I never got the obsession with being related to royalty anyway. In most cultures that have royal families, those families are inbred and have a host of genetic disorders lurking about. I’m more proud to be Cherokee because we never had royal families. We were always democratic, electing our leaders and having women in decision-making thousands of years before the US decided it was right. Also, inbreeding (marrying into your clan in this case) was punishable by death.

yes your right and I’m really sick of blacks in this country calling themselves “African Americans” when in fact you are only Americans like the rest of us. my great grandfather came here from Italy and yet i dont refer to myself as an “Italian American” most of you couldn’t find your country of origin on a map!
